Merchant Acquiring in Europe - What a piece of crap! Retail Banking Research FluFF!!!

[clemens]

For some time ago I looked into the company with which link is below, what I was looking for was real Acquiring Banks in Europe which take on merchants since one of my partners was seeking this information for own business purpose.

However I ordered this package which is £1.500 and what I got was simply some reports telling the credit rate of the different banks which I already know.

Looks like you got scammed for 1,5k - feel sorry for you but don't understand how the hell you can pay such a nasty looking website any money.... I didn't managed to find other negative reviews about them which can be of two reasons. 1 they never sold any of the subscriptions only to you or they are more selling to banks which don't care what kind of crap information they get, we have seen banks spend more money than this in the last 2 years lol

sorry clemens thath you got scammed, hope they will return your money, but it is not very often anyone return money which they have stolen, in the payment service provider industry
